Intentionally ignoring prior discussion because I don’t want it to color my response: a lot of this is really empty or reacts to incentives I don’t have, but some of it is very good general advice:
> If you stop to listen to a musician or street performer for more than a minute, you owe them a dollar.
> Courtesy costs nothing
My only note is I’d expand this to generally accepting people how they express themselves and their cares
> Efficiency is highly overrated; Goofing off is highly underrated. Regularly scheduled sabbaths, sabbaticals, vacations, breaks, aimless walks and time off are essential for top performance of any kind. The best work ethic requires a good rest ethic.
Two years into burnout, this x1000.
> Criticize in private, praise in public.
Mostly right on but sometimes public criticism is the only effective tool to right things that are otherwise wrong, or just necessary because the wrong is entirely immovable without public attention.
> If winning becomes too important in a game, change the rules to make it more fun. Changing rules can become the new game.
This is fantastic, please enjoy.
I stopped here because I am very hungry.
